I’m sure many posters on this thread don’t see any sort of issue with this dystopian weirdness. I can’t wait for an AI relationships forum on DCUM. There are already people using it as a therapist.[/quote]

I totally us it as mental health coach and find it a lot more helpful for breaking my ruminative thought patterns and process emotions.

The alternative is another dystopian technology…psychotropic medications.

I don't use it as a therapist per se, but I have figured out a way to use a chatbot to help with CBT, which is really useful for me when I'm under a lot of stress or dealing with social anxiety. I've actually never found a human therapist who was particularly good at CBT -- before using AI, I relied on a workbook I bought years ago, with self-guided worksheets. But the chatbot is better because it's interactive. I can prompt it to provide me with a CBT process for a specific issue, and then ask it to guide me through that process with with a question and answer session. There is something about going through it that way that is more effective than just doing the worksheet on my own.

My one major concern is privacy. I only use chatbots that allow me to wipe the data I've input at the end of a session, and don't store it or use it for machine learning. I do think using it as an actual therapist with the idea that as it gets to know you, it will provide you with better therapeutic responses is a bit dangerous. I would not do this unless I fully owned the machine. I'm not just going to start talking to Chat GPT about all my personal issues.[/quote]
